Clinton’s Hispanic edge - Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez is a strong supporter of Barack Obama, his home-state senator, but there’s one aspect of Obama’s campaign that he finds maddening: Obama’s Latino outreach efforts.

“When you are washing dishes and waiting tables and are working these kinds of jobs, you don’t pick up Newsweek and find out the phenomenon about Barack Obama,” said Gutierrez, who says Latinos don’t know Obama.

Gutierrez, who represents a majority-Hispanic Chicago-based district, is frustrated that the campaign has not followed his advice to knock on the doors of Latino voters — the fastest-growing segment of the electorate — just as Hillary Rodham Clinton did recently in Las Vegas with other prominent Latinos at her side.”*
